ok, I hear alot of stuff about how "ps2 sucks", "gamecube is for -blam!-'s" type talk, but I want to know why you hate it. everytime I ask someone why they hate that systems its always the same answer: "cause it sucks" and "your a -blam!- for sticking up for it" But I have never heard a real good reason why they dont like that system. this confuses me cause if I had the money I would of course buy all three. however I can only afford PS2, and I havent gotten around to buying xbox yet. So will someone please just give me some reasons why they dont like the other system that arnet inmature or anything?

and on a side note: if anyone here does have a PS2 (and i know some of you do) what do i need to get it to play online?

XBOX #1, PS2 #2, GameCube #3.

The PS2 is a pretty good system, the only thing I regret is that there are only TWO controller ports. I used to own a nintendo 64 but that piece of crap sucks now, but the first time I played Game Cube I hated the controller a lot. It is fragile and so is the box.
I would be alright owning a PS2.

I too, believe that if one has an opinion, he should explain it. I like Xbox the best out of the three, but it still has its flaws. I got the Ps2 first and i loved it, hell i still like it enough, but has broken twice. The first time we had it repaired and now it has broken again and we have just given up on it. It was about that time i got an xbox. As for the gamecube, well its my brothers. Besides from its obvious faults like few online games, no dvds or cds, but everytime i thought about getting a gamecube game, there was always a game i just wanted more on another system. So we only have two gamecube games. Not to metion the fact that it resides in my brother's room, which i tremble at the thought of stepping into. I could go on, but that might take a little too long.

i hate ps2 because they are beating xbox and gamecube horribley. I like xbox more cause, it has twice the graphics capcity, 4 controller ports, and almost unlimited memory and is cheaper to buy, than a ps2. And it makes me angry how playstation is raping the other 2 consoles so badly. the only reason i like gamecube is for the zelda series. I hope that xbox buys the zelda series when gamecube dies off, that way it can be with a company that makes better decisions.

If you want answers, then don't make assumptions about everyone else. I don't hate the other systems. I hate people that think everyone does, and gets mad at them for it.

2. Blame-ability thy name is stosh.
3. Bungie has no control over retail prices.
4. Watch out for low-flying defense drones.
5. Seven is not optional, but rather, an inevitability.

I don't hate the other systems, but I prefer the Xbox to the others.

the only console i don't really like is the gamecube. while not a bad performance machine, its exclusive games leave something to be desired. the contollers are the wrong shape to be that small, and the C joystick is a little to small. it just comes across as more of a childs console to me. its kinda starting to pick up speed now, but i think it might be too late.

As much as I ignore the little cuber, I really want the new Zelda game. It looks so awesome with none of that Cel shading crap!

ok

ps2 is good for like socom and anime games, but I don't like anime games, and I aint gonna buy a game system just for 1 game

Gamecube only has kid games (cept RE and Metriod prime), and I dont need mario anymore

therefore, since Xbox has cool games and enough of them for me to buy it, I have bought the xbox, but that was 3 years ago lol.

BTW whoever said N64 sucks should die, because the Xbox and the N64 are the greatest systems ever, no question about it.

that satisfy you mister ps2 owner guy?

Xbox: Probably my favorite overall. It has great graphics and a good line up of games. Its ability to save onto the system is really nice, too. And Halo, of course.

GameCube: My second favorite. Great games, plus Nintendo knows their stuff. I've never played a bad Mario, Zelda, or Metroid game. To tell you the truth, I'll probably get the big N's new system first. And to the guy who said Nintendo will die: not in a while.

PS2: My least favorite. I hate the controller. And I hate Sony. Their stuff is over priced and not that great. Look real hard, and you'll notice both of the other systems have better graphics.

There's my thoughts on the matter.

1# : Sony Playstation 2: This is my favorite system along with the PSX/one only use my DBZ PS2 for Sports and Racing Games. And the Dragonball Z: Budokai games.

2# : Microsoft Xbox: This is the best system but not my favorite. I use Dopey (my Xbox' only my name) for other games.

3# : Nintendo Gameboy Advance: SP: I use this for road trip and plane rides. I get all kinds of games.

Have or had more systems that haven't been listed.

Oh yeah, I hate N64 and Gamecube. they are completely useless. TOTAL waste of $!

Wow. My thoughts exactly. I mean, it's like $35 dollars for a multi-tap. I mean come on people! Most of thier games only support 2 players, too.

does anyone remember back before the xbox was released? I remember alot of people hating it cause Microsoft made it, and i dunno, it was like cool to hate microsoft or something. Then it seemed once Halo came out it had a huge data base..... maybe im just crazy

I don't actually care about the systems themselves, for me it's all about replay value. But there are really only two games I play: Halo and Super Smash Brothers Melee. The systems can get better for all I care, just give me some good games and I'll play them.
